Finding a vegan bistro as creative as Invitation V is hard. A lot of the vegan restos in MTL become repetitive and fast.
Invitation V switches it up a little bit; from the recipes to the presentation it is all unique.
I ordered the hot pot which was a miso soup with veggies and tofu. I'm talking about NICE & BIG pieces of tofu. No small square cubes here. It was served with a creamy coconut Tamale topped with exotic peanut sauce wrapped in a banana leaf. The waitress suggested I put some of the Tamale in my soup to give it a sweet taste. I did just that and it was delicious! The presentation of my dish was impressive too. My soup came in a big bowl with a little heater under it to keep the soup warm. A smaller bowl was presented to me on my tray as well. I transferred the soup from bowl to bowl. It was fun! I'll post a picture so you could get a better visual idea.
For dessert I ordered the tiramisu. MY GOD was it ever amazing! It tasted better than the real thing...and to think it's vegan and 100% guilt free. The caramel pecan sauce that they put on it was rich and creamy and a absolute delight. If I would be in the area I'd go in just for this dessert. I have an insane sweet tooth and this tiramisu left me happy and satisfied.
The decor was nice too, quite modern. The seating was super comfortable.
